Door Fabricator

As a Door Fabricator, you'll bring custom hollow metal and stainless-steel doors and panels to life. From precision forming and expert welding to assembling high-quality, made-to-order products, your skills will help power industries, secure facilities, and support critical infrastructure.

This is hands-on, high-impact work in a modern manufacturing environment - perfect for problem-solvers, builders, and doers who take pride in their work.

What You'll Do

• Bring custom designs to life by interpreting shop orders, drawings, and hardware templates.
• Fabricate door and panel components using CNC mechanical shears, hydraulic press brakes, grinders, welders, saws, and more.
• Perform MIG/GMAW welding, plasma cutting, bending, spot welding, grinding, polishing, and finishing.
• Work with a variety of materials: stainless steel, galvanized steel, adhesives, caulks, acids, cleaners, and pre-paint treatments.
• Prep and assemble door skins, cores, and structural components to exact specifications.
• Maintain exceptional quality, safety, and craftsmanship while working efficiently.
• Support continuous improvement through Lean Manufacturing practices.
• Operate forklifts safely and manage raw material flow throughout the shop.
• Communicate and collaborate with supervisors, leads, and internal departments.
• Contribute your skills across the facility, including warehouse support and special projects.

What Makes You a Great Fit

You'll thrive in this role if you are:

• Skilled with hand and power tools.
• A strong problem-solver who can think on your feet.
• Comfortable interpreting diagrams and technical instructions.
• Detail-oriented with a commitment to quality.
• Safety-focused and reliable.
• Able to work independently and as part of a high-performing team.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED (or equivalent experience).

• Ability to read and understand safety instructions, manuals, and shop documentation.
• Experience with welding, metal forming, or fabrication a plus.
• Forklift certification (or ability to obtain through internal training).

Physical & Work Environment

This is an active, hands-on manufacturing role:

• Regular standing, bending, lifting (up to 50-70 lbs.), and material handling.
• Use of PPE: safety glasses, gloves, steel-toe shoes, hearing protection, and more.
• Fast-paced production environment with loud machinery, temperature variations, and airborne particles.
